Update: We managed to hedge most of the equity exposure before the onset of the recent volatility episode. We thus kept the equity curve smooth until there are clearer signals. Among the trends we follow, crypto is the one which ended last week. So we closed the exposure we had on Ethereum. Bonds... Show More

Update: Trend rules have steered us well until now this year. We respected them and acted on signals and we got positioned for moves that would have been hard to project otherwise. An example is the long trade on stocks after the March and April sell off. Many were seeing a longer bear market starting,... Show More

Update for the month of April: After the equity market sell off, there are some opportunities that may arise. Equities themselves might represent one opportunity after the market has capitulated into the lows of April 7th. It is not just the speed of the drawdown, but also the fact that there is an...

Short update for mid-April: There is not much to do in the markets for now. While the swings for the equities and bonds are very large, this is not a time to be more active as an investor. The defensive stance we kept since February has helped us avoid the equities sell off. We are only exposed to... Show More

Update for the month of March: Nothing much to do given the lack of trends for most of the markets. Precious metals are the only part of the market that is trending and we got some exposure on the gold miners ETF. Bonds are the closest to confirming another trend, but more upside is needed for...

Update for the month of February: I wanted to recap the strategy used for this portfolio: use trend following rules to go long on a diversified mix of ETFs, use a strategy to go long equities, one that is hedging equities by going short, and a contrarian one that is trading based on extreme positioning...

Update for the month of January: As usual after a prolonged rally, the SPX has wobbled at the top for the last 1-2 months. Uptrends are still in place for equities, but there is a high chance they will end soon. There will probably be a while (6 months or more) without a favorable environment in ... Show More

Update for the month of December: Crypto has been the driver of returns for the portfolio lately. This is one of the five categories of assets with lower correlation among themselves that we are using to build a diversified portfolio when they are in uptrends. Since we got an uptrend on crypto, we... Show More

Update for the month of November: The portfolio had a good run recently due to investments in momentum stocks - $RKLB (Rocket Lab Corp) - and the new buy signal on crypto. Crypto is the fifth asset class that I am monitoring for signals, and we had a buy signal on the 7th of November. Unfortunately,... Show More

Update for the month of October: The stock market looks a bit dangerous for the short term, so no adding to risk to existing stock positions. There has been some distribution over the last 1-2 weeks on the SPX. If the index falls below its short term moving averages, a larger correction may happen.... Show More
